replay put together a pretty long theory about where Delta Halo might be – an interesting read. For what it’s worth…the ‘Halo Activation Radius’ graphic he doesn’t know who to attribute to was created by PD, and has been in our Miscellaneous section for almost 3 years now.

Devin Olsen wondered if it was just that time of the month for Skill videos… it’s a bit late to be adding his entry to that post, but then, he calls his ‘Not a Skill Video’ anyway. 2:37, 7.4 mb. I liked the Zanzibar sword-carrier beatdown, myself. Update: Bonekin decided to get in on the…

Yesterday, Bungie posted a new Cheating FAQ, a collection of information about what constitutes cheating, what doesn’t, and what happens to cheaters. If you’re at all curious about whether that trick you’re exploiting will get you into trouble in the long run, or whether the team that just beat you by stealing the flag from…

As a cap to a truly spectacular day, content-wise, we’d like to offer you a few gorgeous images. Swing by our Craig Mullins Halo gallery for a full version of the Arbiter and Master Chief image used in today’s Sneaking wallpaper from Bungie. (There’s a more recent version of this image – one that has…

Three brand-new wallpapers have been released on Bungie.net – and man… there’s some classy stuff there. Mister Chief, in a classic WinXP setting… Delta Halo, in all its glory… and a recently-leaked Craig Mullins piece, reworked by Shishka for your screen. (There’s some good background in Sketch’s writeup about this piece.) Go look, go download,…

Mike Miller has come to be known as a pretty amazing campaign player; if you don’t know the name, you haven’t been reading our news. The man has graciously agreed to share his knowledge and skills with the Halo community; we will gradually be releasing a Legendary Walkthrough of Halo 2, created by Mike. It…

Hehe – over on the Marty Army forum at Bungie.net, Marty posted the following suggestion (you have to be a member of the Marty Army to be able to see this):The Marty Army members should all demand to see the video of Frankie attempting to “sing” Billie Jean. Talk about price.FugitiveSoldier has put up a…

OMG Finn’s not dead OMG! Big ol’ update over at the Halo Story page today. Some of this is old stuff to forum regulars, some is not. There’s definitely some grist for the speculation mill! Go read. (Don’t forget to check out Jillybean’s addition from last week; it was just a single tidbit, so I…

The Red vs Blue crew is at the Sundance Film Festival this week… and the Salt Lake Tribune has found them interesting enough to warrant a feature. A nice general overview… go read! (They see a million downloads a week? That’s… um, like 25 or 30 terabytes or so. Gah.) Thanks, ICDedPpl.

That Weasel writes to let us know that Grunts Are People Too!!! has a new episode up… Project GN? What’s going on? In WMP9, QuickTime, and DivX formats, 7-13 mb, depending.

Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, felt disgusted enough by the reaction of the school board decision in Puyallup to block a Halo 2 tournament that would benefit tsunami victims that he’s written a retort. It’s interesting to see WHY he’s annoyed… it’s not the action, it’s the reasons BEHIND the action, and what those reasons might…

David Galindo has made a few movies for the Halo community – they’ve all been received pretty well. He’s made a new one… this one’s called ‘Explosions in the Sky’. This one takes a look at the power of heavy weapons, with some amazing camera work. You can grab it from either bungie.org (QuickTime, 24.5…

Thanks to Cody Brigan, who notified us that the Mister Chief contest being run by misterchief.com is now over – with the winners announced! Some pretty cool stuff came out of this one. (Mr. Brigan, not totally coincidentally, was the grand-prize winner, with a funny Flash tidbit.) Go watch. (Warning: Stuntmutt’s entry might be considered…

Yesterday (well, 2 days ago by this system clock, but trust me, it was yesterday), (GT)Juggler posted a note on our forum about a new movie he’d made. GT 14 – You Slay Me is 4 minutes long, and 26-31 mb large, depending on the version you get. It’s a departure from his last few…

The 2004 Winter Pentathlon is over… and the writeup has been posted at Bungie.net. A masterpiece of spin, written by Newbies and Middle-schoolers attempting to downplay the TOTAL CARNAGE that was Old-School this year… it’s a fun read. Check it out. (I gotta say, though, the Karaoke vid starring Cher O’Donnell is… disturbing.)

Bungie has continued their long-dormant series of ‘what’s it like to work here’ articles, this time with an interview with Steve Cotton, one of the lead multiplayer map designers. Interesting read, though Steve sounds a bit… brainwashed. Or maybe it’s just hogtied. Thanks, Frankie.

Captain Spark has updated his collection of dialogue snippets – you can grab a new batch of 48 zipped files over at his website, or search for them piece by piece in our Dialogue Databank. (The reason ours says 45 results and his says 48 is because there were a few that were improvements on…

Yesterday, High Impact Halo posted a note about a new jumping vid from Kahai_maluu and the Jump Tactics team; is this a new sport? (Some of the atmosphere reminds me a lot of skateboarders, actually.) The movie is a monster – over 50 mb for 15 minutes of jumping hijinx on Lockout – and it’s…

Friday’s GU Comics uncovers the secret of Halo 2’s spectacular sales numbers. Thanks, Meg. (They have a very cool little feature where you can search for comics by Game… in the past, they’ve looked at I Love Bees and Master Chief’s PR skills, as well as the pirating issue that already got a news post.

Today’s One One Se7en takes a shot at… well, someone. I’m not sure who, though.
